Project description:Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive and lethal brain tumor, with limited treatment options. Abnormal activation of the neddylation pathway is observed in glioblastoma, and the NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor, MLN4924 was previously shown to be effective in glioblastoma cell line models. However, its effect has not been tested in patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells. Immunohistochemistry and public data were analyzed to determine whether NEDD8 pathway proteins are important in glioblastoma development and patient survival. The effects of MLN4924 were evaluated in 4 glioblastoma cell lines and 15 patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells using high content analysis. Immunoblot analysis assessed the NEDD8 pathway proteins and biomarkers. Whole transcriptome analysis identified pathways associated with MLN4924 sensitivity. NAE1 and UBA3 levels increased in glioblastoma patients; high NEDD8 levels were associated with poor clinical outcomes. Glioblastoma cell lines and patient-derived stem cells were highly susceptible to MLN4924, while normal human astrocytes were resistant. Genomic analyses indicated that MLN4924 sensitive cells exhibited enrichment of ERK and AKT signaling. We verified that MLN4924 inhibits ERK and AKT phosphorylation in MLN4924 sensitive cells. Our findings suggest that patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells in the context of ERK and AKT activation are sensitive and highly regulated by neddylation inhibition.

Project description:Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) represent one of the most aggressive childhood malignancies. No effective treatment options are available, and prognosis is therefore dismal. Previous studies have demonstrated that tumor organoids capture the heterogeneity of patient tumors and can be used to predict patient therapy response. Here, we perform drug screening on patient-derived normal and tumor organoids to identify MRT-specific therapeutic vulnerabilities. We identify neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 as a potential therapeutic agent. Mechanistically, we find increased neddylation in MRT organoids and tissues and show that MLN4924 induces a cytotoxic response via upregulation of the unfolded protein response. Lastly, we demonstrate in vivo efficacy in an MRT PDX mouse model, in which single agent MLN4924 treatment significantly extends survival. Our study demonstrates that organoids can be used to find drugs selectively targeting tumor cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed and proposes neddylation inhibition as therapeutic strategy in MRT.

Project description:Hypoxia, an inadequate supply of tissue oxygen tension, has been reported to induce apoptosis of spermatogenic cells and is associated with male infertility. Neddylation, a post-translational modification similar to ubiquitination, has been shown to be involved in the hypoxia stress response. However, the functions of neddylation in hypoxia-induced apoptosis of spermatogenic cells and its association with male infertility remain largely unexplored. In this study, aiming to explore the role of neddylation in male infertility, we used the specific neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 for treatment in mouse type B spermatogonia GC-2 cells. Our results showed that MLN4924 had no apparent effect on GC-2 cell apoptosis under normoxia, but significantly increased apoptotic cells under hypoxia. Transcriptomic analysis and qPCR assay confirmed that MLN4924 could suppress the expression of hypoxia target genes in GC-2 cells under hypoxia. In addition, MLN4924 could enhance the induction of intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) under hypoxia. These results indicate that the neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 potentiates hypoxia-induced apoptosis of mouse type B spermatogonia GC-2 cells, and neddylation may play an important role in promoting spermatogenic cells to adapt to hypoxia stress.

Project description:MLN4924, also known as pevonedistat, is a small molecule inhibitor of NEDD8 activating enzyme (NAE), that inhibits the entire neddylation pathway. As the first-in-class neddylation inhibitor, MLN4924 is currently in Phase I/II clinical trials for anticancer application as a single agent or in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs. MLN4924 has shown impressive anticancer activity by inactivating Cullin-RING ligases (CRLs) to cause accumulation of tumor suppressor substrates. Whether MLN4924 regulates the RNA expression by modulating the levels of transcription factor/repressor remain elusive. In this study, we treated A549 lung cancer cells with MLN4924 at 0.25 or 0.5 µM for 8 or 24 hrs, respectively, followed by RNAseq analysis. Here we found that MLN4924 significantly decreases the SOX2 mRNA level. The mechanistic study revealed that MLN4924 inhibits FBXW2 E3 to cause MSX2 accumulation, which in turn transcriptionally represses SOX2, leading to suppression of stem cell property and sensitization of cancer cells to tamoxifen.

Project description:Type II testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the most prevalent tumors in young men. Patients suffering from cisplatin resistant TGCTs are facing very poor prognosis demanding novel therapeutic options. Neddylation is a known posttranslational modification mediating many important biological processes including tumorigenesis. Overactivation of neddylation pathway promotes carcinogenesis and tumor progression in various entities by inducing proteasomal degradation of tumor suppressors (e.g., p21, p27). We used a genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 activation screen to identify cisplatin resistance factors. TGCT cell lines were treated with the neddylation inhibitor (MLN4924)/cisplatin/combination and investigated for changes in viability (XTT assay), apoptosis/cell cycle (flow cytometry) as well as in the transcriptome (3’mRNA sequencing). NAE1 overexpression was detected in cisplatin resistant colonies from the CRISPR screen. Inhibition of neddylation using MLN4924 increased cisplatin cytotoxicity in TGCT cell lines and sensitized cisplatin resistant cells towards cisplatin. Apoptosis, G2/M-phase cell cycle arrest, gH2A.X/P27 accumulation and mesoderm/endoderm differentiation was observed in TGCT cells while fibroblast cells were unaffected. We identified overactivation of neddylation as a factor for cisplatin resistance in TGCTs and highlighted the additive effect of NAE1 inhibition by MLN4924 in combination with cisplatin as a novel treatment option for TGCTs.

Project description:The transcriptional profile of the human multiple myeloma (MM) cell line MM.1S treated with MLN4924 vs control MM.1S cells was characterized by oligonucleotide microarray analysis, using the human U133 plus 2.0 Affymetrix GeneChip, according to previously described protocols for total RNA extraction and purification; cDNA synthesis; in vitro transcription reaction for production of biotin-labeled cRNA; hybridization of cRNA with U133plus2.0 Affymetrix gene chips; and scanning of image output files. Scanned image output files were analyzed using DNA-Chip Analyzer (dChip) (www.dchip.org), including conversion to DCP files, normalization and modeling. The gene expression profile of MM.1S cells for each time point of MLN4924 treatment was compared to the profile of control MM.1S cells. The NEDD8 activating enzyme (NAE) is upstream of the 20S proteasome in the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway and catalyzes the first step in the neddylation pathway. NEDD8 modification of cullins is required for ubiquitination of cullin-ring ligases (CRLs), which regulate degradation of a distinct subset of proteins. The more targeted impact of NAE on protein degradation prompted us to study MLN4924, an investigational NAE inhibitor, in preclinical multiple myeloma (MM) models. In vitro treatment with MLN4924 led to dose-dependent decrease of viability in a panel of human MM cell lines. In this analysis, we evaluated the molecular changes triggered in MM.1S myeloma cells by their in vitro treatment with MLN4924. The transcriptional profiles of each experimental condition were characterized by oligonucleotide microarray analysis, using the human U133 plus 2.0 Affymetrix GeneChip. The human multiple myeloma (MM) cells MM.1S were cultured in vitro in the presence or absence of the NEDD8 activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor MLN4924 for 8, 16 or 24hrs. The gene expression profiles of drug treated cells were compared with the profiles of control MM.1S cells.

Project description:Gamma Secretase Inhibitors (GSIs) effectively block the activation of oncogenic protein Notch homolog-1 (NOTCH1), a frequent event in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL). However, their clinical application is hampered by severe gastrointestinal toxicity due to the inhibition of NOTCH1 signaling and subsequent increase in goblet cell differentiation in the gut. Genome-wide CRISPR loss-of-function (LOF) screen in the colon cancer cell line LS174T identified the neddylation pathway as a main regulator of goblet cell differentiation upon NOTCH1 inhibition. Consistently, genetic deletion or pharmacologic inhibition of the neddylation pathway with the small molecule inhibitor MLN4924 rescued GSI-induced differentiation and cell death in LS174T cells. Mechanistically, neddylation inhibition by MLN4924 increases the protein stability of Hairy and enhancer of split-1 (HES1), a known NOTCH1 target and a regulator of absorptive and secretory cell fate decisions. Combined treatment with GSI and MLN4924 in murine Notch1-induced model of T-ALL showed leukemia regression and improved overall survival without any associated gut toxicity. Overall, these results substantiate the potential of targeting NOTCH1 and neddylation pathway in the treatment of NOTCH1-induced T-ALL. To elucidate the mechanisms mediating LS174T (adenocarcinoma cell line) differentiation upon NOTCH inhibition, we performed gene expression profiling in LS174T cells treated with vehicle (DMSO) or GSI (CompE) (250 nm) for 48 hours

Overall, these results substantiate the potential of targeting NOTCH1 and neddylation pathway in the treatment of NOTCH1-induced T-ALL. We used microarray to profile the gene expression in mouse intestinal stem cells upon NOTCH1 inhibition through GSI (DBZ treatment). This will allow us to explore the mechanisms of NOTCH1 inhibition in intestinal cell fate in vivo.

Project description:Protein neddylation modification is catalyzed by a neddylation activating enzyme (NAE, E1), an E2 conjugating enzyme and an E3 ligase. In various types of human cancers, the neddylation pathway was abnormally activated. Our previous study validated that neddylation E2 UBE2F is a promising lung cancer target. However, although NAE inhibitor MLN4924/pevonedistat is currently in few clinical trials for anticancer application, no small molecule was reported that targets UBE2F. Here, we report, for the first time, the discovery, via structure-based virtual screen and chemical optimization, of such a small molecule, designated as HA-9104. HA-9104 binds to UBE2F, reduces its protein levels, and consequently inhibits cullin-5 neddylation to inactivate CRL5 (cullin-RING ligase-5) ligase, leading to accumulation of CRL5 substrate, NOXA, to induce apoptosis. Moreover, HA-9104 appears to form the DNA adduct via its 7-azaindole group to induce DNA damage and G2/M arrest. Biologically, HA-9104 effectively suppresses the growth and survival of lung cancer cells and confers radiosensitization in both in vitro cell culture and in vivo xenograft tumor models. Taken together, our study discovered a small molecule HA-9104 that targets the UBE2F-CRL5 axis with anticancer activity alone or in combination with radiation.
